About this product
Product Information
Lauren Ipsum is a whimsical journey through a land where logic and computer science come to life. Meet Lauren, an adventurer lost in Userland who needs to find her way home by solving a series of puzzles. As she visits places like the Push & Pop Cafe and makes friends with people like Hugh Rustic and the Wandering Salesman, Lauren learns about computer science without even realizing it-and so do you! Read Lauren Ipsum yourself or with someone littler than you, then flip to the notes at the back of the book to learn more about logic and computer science in the real world. Suggested for ages 10+

Reviews
"Both girls are adventurers, but where Alice treads lightly on the leaves of logic under Lewis Carroll's direction, Lauren (or Laurie) plunges headlong into the infinite corridors of computer science." --Prof. Benjamin Wells, ACM's Computing Reviews " Lauren Ipsum is part of a much larger movement that seeks to bring programming skills to, well, everyone." --Wired "Although this is perfect for the budding scientist or programmer, any kid looking for a silly story will be entertained and might accidentally learn to use logic to test new ideas." --Booklist "A fantastical journey into the 21st century tech 'Wonderland' that both educates and entertains." --Ruthe Farmer, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer, National Center for Women & IT "Lauren Ipsum is a modern-day Alice, to be enjoyed by precocious children and philosophical adults alike. It is an enchanting fable that just happens to be grounded in fundamental concepts of computation." --Jocelyn Goldfein, Former Director of Engineering at Facebook "This charming book is a must-read for anyone looking to spice up their learning or teaching of computer science." --Dr. Hélène Martin, University of Washington "Through the unthreatening medium of storytelling, Lauren Ipsum sheds a positive light on computing for those who might otherwise miss out." --Gail Carmichael, Carleton University faculty and Board Advisor for the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology "Lauren Ipsum is a wonderful guide to the ideas behind computing. I wish I'd had her as a friend when I was growing up." --Dr. Robert St. Amant, author of Computing for Ordinary Mortals "Bueno hits it right on the head; the story really is a lot of fun, and the ideas are presented in creative, lucid, and curiosity-inspiring ways." --Brent Yorgey, The Math Less Traveled "I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it as a gift for any child in your life." --John Dupuis, Confessions of a Science Librarian "An entertaining read." --Slashdot, front page review "Recommended for anyone of any age who wants to learn." --The MagPi "A great introduction to the thinking skills and concepts that make a great engineer." --Embedded Computing Design "A book that is a perfect companion for a young person learning to code." --Testhead "Loved this. I would highly recommend it for any child who is considering working in...any field that may require problem solving." --Once Upon a Bookshelf "I wish it were around when I was a kid." --Cool Mom Tech "If you'd like to encourage your young reader to learn more about computing, Lauren Ipsum is a must." --Cute Everything

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
